I recently found some beautiful smooth beach rocks. The type that just felt good to hold.
One morning I spontaneously began to embellish one with a non descript pattern.When I picked up another rock, the pattern that came out was totally different. It felt like a meditation. I enjoyed just being free to create and blend lines. It opened my spontaneous creativity!
I became addicted to painting rocks in the morning before focusing on my commercial work. Before I knew it I had a huge bowl full of beautiful rocks! I just had to share them!
I began to give them away to friends as a surprise little leave behind to make people smile. I placed them in mail boxes, on friends yoga mats, I placed them on tables at openings and gave them to friends who just needed a smile.
Soon friends were requesting them to give away to their family and friends. Eventually a huge custom order came in for a wedding and birthday several states away. I knew my rock meditation was making people smile. I hear they inspire people and still radiate energy even if the people receiving them do not know me personally.
Today I received an e-mail that said-“The “EARTH” without “Art” is just “ EH”-
I wonder if they were referring to my rocks.
